Hmmm...you don't have to be defensive about it. I've posted on your thread before and respect your work as much as anyone.

But...every day you post dozens of messages here about each and every trade that's gone your way. Now here's one stock that you describe as "doing great and we are not touching it." When it was going up, you posted many times about it, letting everyone know it was going up and you were making oodles of money on it. The morning after your post, it gaps down and closes off 30%--one of the largest percentage losers in the market--and there's not one mention about it on the board by you or anyone else.

THEN....when asked about it by me, you respond with another post that curtly details half a dozen other successful trades in which you made "oodles of money", as you put it.

In my opinion, if you are going to boldly post dozens of trades each day that you say you called and made oodles of money on, you need to include the ones like TLGD. That's all. Otherwise, your record gets "selective" and you start to go down the path of the previous fallen gurus everyone knows so well.

Since I assume more than a small part of your motivation for posting trades on SI is to entice people to pay for your service, I can understand why losing trades (or even hugely profitable trades like TLGD that become only slightly profitable) end up like the crazy aunt in the attic: they are not talked about. But when you're posting dozens of messages during the day in a public forum, they are not forgotten.....
